Camille forgetting the row boat...

[Joachim]

I'm thinking Camille forgetting the row boat was obviously a metaphor.

Subconciously, I think she's realized she's probably never really getting off that ship.

Yeah, I think Camille has reached the point where the reality of her situation is finally hitting her. Though she can still see Sharon, she'll never really be with her. The stones, in my opinion, are almost torturous in this manner. She'll be so close to Sharon, close enough to touch her but the reality is that they're apart. This "so close but so far away" dichotomy with the stones has already caused so much pain with Scott and Camille. In a way, it might be emotionally just easier for them to cut off communications with Earth and just focus on the tasks before them to get back to Earth.

Of course, though I didn't really take the missing boat as a metaphor for not coming home--good catch.

When I saw it over the mantle in their home, I realized--hey, this is their retirement dream plan together and the things she cares about are slipping away.

really? I thought she just drew a blank when drawing it... and well... forgot it.

What would be the point of writing that into the script?

Well... maybe later down the line we'll all find out she had some brain trouble... that will lead her to forgot things.

I think the idea is she's only been away from home for a fairly short time and she's already starting to forget things. I think that's why it bothered her so much. Sure now she's just forgotten the rowboat but what might follow in the potentially years to come, her friends, her home, Sharon's face?

Very astute observation. To her, the memory slippery slope you've described would be almost as frightening to her as dying on a ship full of virtual strangers living at each other's throats. The reality of this and losing Sharon (perhaps forever) is absolutely devastating to her. Honestly, I believe it would be devastating to anyone.

I like that as well.

Perhaps it's a little both. Subconciously she realizes she's not coming home any time soon, and that scares her - not only that, but the "distance" seems to be growing.

[wargrafix]

she probably just forgot to draw the boat.

[Lord Hurin]

she probably just forgot to draw the boat.

Then why would they write it into the script at all?

I agree with what the OP said: Forgetting to draw the only way off of "their" island made her think of the ship and there not being any way off of it.

There's the obvious 'she missed the boat' comment, but I won't.
Like how you start to forget things about the people you care about most when they're gone [the sound of their voices, their faces], she was forgetting some of the details about her old life.
I'd laugh if she sketched the ugly chair next. Any detail's better than none.

very astute observation!! nice!!

Maybe in another reality where Camille on the ship came from there was never a row boat in the picture, but somehow she got transfered to a reality where there was indeed the slight difference of there being a row boat in the picture. Thus, Camille wouldn't have put it in her drawing. So this is maybe also why Scott suddenly has a son in this reality, but not in the previous reality. So, who likes my crazy theory?

It's a few fish short of a pond to me.
